Missing middle housing refers to housing of different densities and types (single-family, town-homes, land trusts, duplexes, fourplexes, backyard cottages, multi-family, etc.). Missing middle housing is affordable to residents whose income is between 80%-120% of the area median income. When more missing middle housing units are made available, demand is reduced for lower cost housing.
